As Ronda Rousey retains her Raw Women’s Championship, we give you 5 unknown facts about The Arm Collector

In what can be termed as one of the quickest championship battles of all time in WWE history, Ronda Rousey retained her Raw Women’s Championship against Ruby Riott in absolute style at the Elimination Chamber. What followed next though remained the talking point of the event. As her Wrestlemania challenger, Charlotte Flair confronted the Rowdy One, Becky Lynch – limping on crutches – marked her appearance out of nowhere before beating the hell out of the duo.

What happens next remains to be seen and for that matter, the next episode of Monday Night RAW remains a must-watch chapter.

You might very well have been following Ronda from her early career, yet there remain some facts most of her fans are unaware of. Say no more, here we give you five such things you need to know about The Arm Collector or The Rowdy One… or whatever you want to call her.

Tried using Tinder

Ronda Rousey’s in-ring gruelling persona is sure to keep most of her male fans away. But there’s this fact that might cheer them to some extent. She has had her hands on using Tinder; of course being a different user, but the experiment failed as she was recognized too easily.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, it was quoted,

“Her [Rousey’s] fame is such that she can’t go on Tinder. She tried an alter ego -– Brynn Campbell — but that didn’t work. “

When it comes to wrestling, Ronda Rousey remains an epitome without a slightest of doubt. However, when it comes to her off-ring hobbies, gaming remains her avid interest. Speaking about her obsession, her sister Maria had earlier said, “Her Pokemon obsession has been well documented, but Ronda is a serious gamer beyond Pikachu. (For the record, Ronda’s favorite Pokemon is actually Mew.) Nowadays, she is more likely to be found playing World of Warcraft. At family gatherings, she dominates at Mario Kart. Her character of choice: Black Yoshi. She also has impressive Just Dance skills.

“But beyond playing games, she is taking a role in creating them. She serves as a storyline consultant — and not in the ‘name only’ sense — for 7 Generation Games, an educational video game company for which she has drafted the stories for several games’ side quests and Easter eggs.”

Well, that might sound a bit weird to some, but Ronda feels that every woman should have sex before going for a bout. In an interview with Maxim, she once explained, “It’s just a medical fact: As a girl, if you have sex before a fight, it raises your testosterone.”

“People are fascinated by it because that is one difference between men and women. You know, the guys really have to abstain, and the girls are kind of medically encouraged to do the opposite. If it’s available to me, then I’m all for it, but otherwise I’m kind of out of luck.”

Has worked in and for films and video games (Source: ActuMMA)

WWE’s association with the film industry remains a well-documented fact, and Ronda falls under the same category. Following the trails of many, she too has appeared in several films which includes Expendables 3 and Furious 7. Apart from that, she has also voiced for the character Sonya Blade in the upcoming game MK 11.

Worked with 24 Fitness after 2008 Olympics (Source: The42)

It was during the 2008 Olympics that Ronda achieved her biggest accomplishment of all time by becoming the first American woman to win a bronze in Judo. Soon after though, the reality struck and she revealed that she had nowhere to go.

“There’s nothing put in place for Olympians after they’re done. They give you a couple grand, a handshake and they kick your a** out the door.”

Eventually, she joined the 24 Hour Fitness in California and in 2010, she returned to fighting at an MMA gym in Los Angeles.
